    Default what gearbox in my liteace?

    Hi everyone. Im just wondering what gearbox my liteace is fitted with?
    I have searched and i think it should be a g-series, but im just after confirmation.
    It is a 1985 ym21 liteace, 5 speed with the funny external van linkages, fitted with a 2y motor.
    I am asking because im contemplating an engine conversion.
    Would this gearbox take the adaptors/bellhousings, to suit a supra box or is it more like the celica box?
    Thanks

    If you check the engine plates it should give you a gearbox code. I know that the corona lists w57 on its vin plate . Mabe the lite ace is the same?

    Yes, check the build plate, could well be behind the driver's knees, just below the seat.

    From what I read on here recently, it'll be a G52.

    G52 is most likely, shares same bellhousing pattern as W55/57/58 so bellhousings for those motors will work.
